Catch AI coding-agent scope creep before you commit.

What Overscope does
Catch AI coding-agent scope creep before you commit. Overscope compares Claude Code and Codex sessions with your git diff to flag out-of-scope edits, deleted tests, hidden dependencies, and false completion claims. Local, deterministic, no model or API key.

overscope
The desktop app, auditing a real session. There's a terminal version too — same audit, one command.
Your coding agent almost never does exactly what you asked.
You tell Claude Code to add pagination to one endpoint. It does — and on the way it also edits an auth helper you told it to leave alone, deletes a test that was in its way, and pulls in a dependency, then signs off with "done, added pagination." On a small change you'd notice. On a forty-file diff at the end of the day, you commit it.
Overscope reads the agent's own session, lines it up against the real git diff, and shows you where the two disagree — before you commit. It runs locally in about a second, with no model, no API key, and no account.
